On Saturday morning, snout seven o'clock, the tradesmen i.r) opening their shops the neigh bourhood of Compton-street, Brunswick-square, were sill prised to see eight or ten melt stationed Mt em riotts corners, a circumstance which excited considerable snspieion. Soon atter a - well dressed man was s,en walking up to No. 7, in the said street, where he knocked at the door, and asked for General Goorgaud. 'The servant answered he was in bed and unwell, and could not be disturbed. '.l he Gentleman instantly said he must see bim, and if his door was not opened he would break it open. The servant immediately Went into the bed-room and told the General a person %visited to sneak to him. The General told her to shew him in, if he would excuse his being in bed. The Gentleman went in and spoke a few words to the General in French, which the servant (rid not un derstand, but she states that it did not seem to excite any alarm in the General. He then ran to the street door, opened it, and let in six 'at; tendants he had outside in waiting. They all rushed into the bed room together, where the General was still in bed, threw the clothei off Lion, dragged him out, and conveyed him to the front patiour. The General, terrified at such an outrageous proceeding, attempted to open the window to alarm the neighbourhood and ask for help, supposing, in fact, it Was Hu attempt to mur der him. The female servant of the house in vain expostulated a ith them, telling them he was a defenceless foreigner, and ought not to be treat ed in that manner. The General a second tune attempted to open the window, and in their scuffle to drag him from it they drove his head through the glass, breaking thiee panes. — They then threw him down on the ground, under the table, three sevt rat times, and b e at him w ith ernes on the knocklea and on the head. The noire brought down one of the other lodgers, a Lady, who begged of the officers to treat him with mot ., humattity, adding, that if he was guilty he would be, tried, but in the mean time they had no right to beat him in such a manner. They an swered, it was a case of high treason, and that they were acting for the Korg. She told them at • all events they had no right to treat him thus. — They Olen dragged him, bleeding profusely, to wards a coach standiug at the door. Terrified and confused, he called on the servant girl not to abandon him, and by this time a mob being col lected round, the alicers were anxious to force him into the coach without loss of time ; seeing that a considerable interest had been excited among the bye-standers, a report was given out that he was insane, and they were conveying him to a mad-house. The officers than redoubled their exertions, and dragged bin) towards the coach, into which they posited him. lie tell down in the coach, and one of his legs was still out of the door. They forced the door to, and it is feared his leg was much injured. He was driven off to o detached cottage in Vauxhall-walk, next door to the Academy. Inquiries being made, it was discovered that the cottage belongs to Mr. Cap per. Not being able to walk, two of the'men carried hins through the garden into the house. — From thence, two hours afterwards, it is sup posed he was carried off through a back door, and conveyed to Harwich or Dover. In the neighbourhood of the cottage, where considera ble bustle was observed, the people were also told lie was insane. As soon as the circumstance was - known, two triendß of the General's applied at Lord Sidmotith's office, and atter tuentiourog the sudden toanner in which the 'General was taken away, they begged to see him, to know it lie wsuted mowey or any thing else, adding, that this might be done in the presence of officers ; but they were the more anxious to see hint, being confident 'l►e required consolation, and wits leav ing his property, &c. abandoned. .I\ir. Clive an swered he was out of town. The friend , said key ‘votild take a coach and follow him. hut Mr. Clive refo•ed positively, stating, That the sithle re4SlMS . whiCh gave rise to his arrest, prevented any one from seeing hitn. A person went to the cottage, but Mts. Capper said Ire had been strut to Dover. [Morning Post.] (GENERAL 'thlol,lGAUD.—This Officer, one of Buonaparte's adherents, was on Saturday arrested by a warrant front the Secretary of State, at 'his apartments in Upton-street, Brunswick-square The Me.senger who executed the warrant did not effect this objet without Considerable resistance, and in Ow scuffle that took place the windows of the house were broken. The General struggled hard to save his papers, but they were all seized and brought with himself to, Whitehall, where a private examination took place in the presence of Lord Sidmouth and several other Cabinet Minis ters. This Officer, it is understood, was one of the persons concerned in the recent St. Helena plot. Considering his misrepresentations of our unexampled glorious achievements at Waterloo, and his avowed adherence to the cause of the v,miniShed Chef, we cannot, at any rate, dont)t his indisposition to the interests of that country, the splendour of whoSe reputation he has S . O basely attempted to dim. [New Times.] GENERAL GOURGAUD.—On Saturday morning, between the hoots of six, and seven o'clock, Ge neral Grourgaud was a rrested At his lodgings, No. 7, CoMpton-street, Brunswick-square, under a warrant issued for that purpose 'from the Home Department. • Two officers only were employed tit► the occasion, as no resistance was expected. The Ge►►eral, however, on being informed:of the object of the visit, declared his determinalion to resist the attenipt:-' by all possible means, and a scuffle ensued, in whir), although assisted by a friend when was in the house with him,. he was overpowe?ed, and conveyed to a carriage pre pared for his reception. His ftiend followed and forced himself into the carriage, from which he was with difficulty taken out. The officers bad previously succeeded in seizing General. - Gout . - ,gaud's hooks and papers, and the intimation they l►ad given of their instructions to effect that pur pose, appeared in tl►e first instance to have irri tated aud..excited the General to the resistance which lie !Dade. He repeated!), exclaimed, that Ile would -not suffer his pallets to be examined, and when he found all opposition unavailing, he entreated permission to place his seal upon them. [The Times] AIX LA-CHAPELLE, Nov. 11. PROLONGATION OF THB TERM FOR PAYING THE FRENCH CoNTRIBUTIoNS. When I mentioned in my letters of the sth an 6th instant, that the Ministers of the tour fig; Allied Powers lad agreed, at the conference of the 3d, to a prolongation of the time of paying the contributions, it was plain that I alluded merely to a general understanding among them to that effect ; as I-afterwards said, that the tams of an additional convention on the subject would be set tled on the arrival of Mr. Baring, and the add I. tional information that he and the French Go vernment• would supply. This general .mider standing was expressed in the protocol which I sent you itt my letter of the 9111, but had not assumed the formal shape of a complete conven tion. At that time the prolongation of the term from nine months to twelve was considered as all that might be revired ; and it was the sense of Congress that it should be accorded as an tional boon to France, for the security of all par ties concerned. In the conferences of Monday and yesterday, the whole subject was reconsidered with the new lights which Alinisters had gained. Mr. Bating, I am informed, gave in a memorial oil Monday, containing the reasons for this appli cation on the part of France, stating the extent to which it was desirable the prolongation should extend, and enforcing the policy of consenting to the demand on the new conditions that would be offered. The whole of this intricate business 6 now said to be definitively arranged, and the ad ditional convention signed in the conference of to day. For all the details, we must wait for the document itself ; but the following may be re garded as its principal and only interesting arti cles :—The time. for paying the whole of the con ttibwions is now at last extended from 9 to 18 months. The first payment is to take place on the 6th January, as before stipulated ; and the whole sum of 265 millions is to be discharged by 18 equal monthly instalments. The half is to be paid in foreign bills, on houses at Hatnburgh and Amsterdam, and the other half in Paris. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. is to be given on the part of the contributions., the pay ment of which is deterred beyond the 9 months stipulated in the first convention. The same rate of interest, and the same division of funds into payments at Paris and bills on foreign houses, are to be common to all the Powers. The contractors, the securities, and all the other terms of the original convention, remain unchanged. —lt is reported, that the four Powers have cor dially and unanimously deiced to these conditions, whatever might at first have been the feeling of some of them on a proposition to prolong the term of realizing their shares so much beyond the period originally stipulated. The giving of interest at 5 per cent., and the security of ultimate pay ment, added to the new conveoieoce of hills on cities with which the most of them have more in tercourse than with Paris, are advantages which have rendered the measure satisfactory to all.— Messrs. Baring and Co. are of course security for the interest as well as the principal. They will receive the dividend on the French stock footled, and will pay it over to the parties in proportion to their shares of the contribution. Thus this difficult negociation, which was more likely than any other to create differences where they did. not exit, or to give 1 . 1.1e111 a prominence if they exist ed, has been ierminaced with that unanimity, with t h a t dispatch, and with that conciliatory and con. filing di s position, which affords the best evidence Lof present union among the great L'u wers. and lays the'best iminaation, as well as 4i7es the best pledge, of lasting tranquillity. The Bankers, Iron a rliort of ' , money transacti.ns going for ward, have again collected. M. Bethman, the relation of M. La Bouchere, one of the Contrac tors, is art ived lrere from Frankfort. Several others are here from other parts of Germany. I formerly alluded to negotiations going on between Prussia and the Netherlands, for round ing the territory of the former, by giving it the Meuse for a frontier. The Journal of Cologne mentions a curious report, that Prussia is anxious to abandon entirely the Provinces of the Rhine, iu excitauge for Hanover. According to this pro ject, the King of the Netherlands would accept of these provinces in exchange for Belgium,. and the family of Hanover would be removed to Bel gium. However wise this arrangement may ap pear to some German visionaries, it would be needless here to discuss such an absurdity as world he involved in any proposition to realize it. The Hotel de Ville has now become like an ex hibition of Pictures. A young Prussian painter exposes his works in the Great Hall, and Sir T. Lawrence paints and exhibits in an adjoining room. The Emperor Alexander has given four sittings, and the head is nearly finished. The King of Prussia sat for the first time to day. The Emperor Francis's portrait is nearly in a state to be carried to England. Prince Harden berg, Prince Met ternich, and Count Nesselrode, the Ministers respectively of Prus3ia, Austria, and Russia, are advancing apace by the side of their masters. The room of the painter is now a place of fashionable resort as flinch as the shops of the statuaries in Athens. Four o'r five Ministers some times meet there at a time. P. S. The readiness and unanimity with which the Allies -have agreed to the application of the French Government, clearly demonstrate that there could be nothing very unjust aid unreason ble in the demand, and furnisk the hest answer to that chaiwol reasoning detailed in my preVions letter, -as proceeding from the party most hostile to this fresh concession in favour of France. `THEATRICAL, REGISTER.

" The QUEEN'S Disease bas not abated.— Her MAJESTY has bad some good sleep in the night. (Signed) " FR. MILMAN. " H. HALFWIT)." We received last night the Paris Papers of Thursday last. Those of Friday, which were due this morning, have not yet reached us.— They mention the arrival at Paris on Tuesday of the Marquis de CARMAN, the French Minister to the Austrian Court, who had come from Aix-la- Chapelle with dispatches, said to be most im portant and satisfactory. The announcement of the return to Paris of M. POKTALIS is now stated to be a mistake, as he, continued at Rome in the execution of tie mis sion confided to him, with regard to the Concor dat. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE was expected o leave Paris in a few days. . The arrival of the Duke d'ANGOULEIVE at Stras burg had been postponed till the 13th inst., in or der to give time, as it seems, for his Royal nigh ness's journey to and return from Aix-la-Chapelle. The accounts from Aix-la-Chapelle, in these Journals, which are confirmed by those of later date i►a the Brussels Papers, state the prolonga tion of the business of the Congress, and also hat Lord CASTLEREAGH is to remain there till the 6th December. In order to expedite the progress of the negociations, the Ministers, it is said, had frequently two Conferences a day. A ridiculous report is mentioned in one of the articles from Aix-la-Chapelle, that England means to exchange Hanover fur the Prussian Provinces on the Rhine, and then again to exchange the latter for FIVE PER CENTS.
